Actor
Karisma Kapoor on Thursday celebrated 30 years of Bollywood and said she was
full of “gratitude”. Karisma, who hit the milestone on June 21 — the
release date of her debut feature Prem Qaidi — took to Instragram and posted a
video montage of her popular hits from the 1990s.

The
47-year-old actor was a part of several blockbuster 90s films, from comedies
Raja Babu (1994), Saajan Chale Sasural (1996) to romantic dramas like Raja
Hindustani, her National Award-winning turn in Dil Toh Paagal Hai and 1999’s
Hum Saath-Saath Hain.

Karisma
Kapoor also
featured in the “no 1” series of filmmaker David Dhawan – Coolie No.
1 (1995), Hero No. 1 with Govinda, and Biwi No. 1 in 1999 opposite Salman Khan.

“Replaying
the memories with a dose of the 90’s,” Karisma captioned the video, with
the hashtag ‘Thirty years of gratitude’ and ’90s Jam’.

The video
featured some of her popular hit songs from Raja Hindustani, Dil Toh Paagal
Hai, and Judwaa, among others.

In the
next decade, she starred in the title role of the critically-acclaimed films
like Fiza (2000) and Zubeidaa (2001). In 2003, she also headlined the TV serial
Karishma – The Miracles of Destiny.

After a
successful career of nearly 13 years, Kapoor took a sabbatical from acting in
2004, a year after she married industrialist Sunjay Kapur. A decade later, the
couple filed for divorce. They share daughter Samaira (16) and son Kiaan (11).

Though
the actor returned to the big screen with Vikram Bhatt’s 2012 thriller
Dangerous Ishqq, her on-screen appearances remained limited.

She made
her digital debut in 2020 with the ALTBalaji and ZEE5 web series Mentalhood.

On
Wednesday, Karisma’s younger sister and actor Kareena Kapoor Khan celebrated
her 21 years in Bollywood. She made her acting debut with JP Dutta’s 2001
cross-border romance drama Refugee, opposite then newcomer Abhishek Bachchan.
